WOODVIORKING-VISE.

Application filed February 13, 1909.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HAL'rnRBncK, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, residing in the borough of Brooklyn of the city of New York, inthe State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin l/Voodworking-Vises, of which the following is a specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

This invention relates to improvements in Vises for holding wood orother material and has for its object to provide a mechanism which canbe easily and readily adjusted in a variety of positions to receivearticles of different sizes and of irregular shapes.

The invention consists in the new and novel features of construction andcombinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a woodworking vise embodying my invention, with the operating handle brokenaway. Fig. 2 represents a section on the lines 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3represents a plan view of the vise. Fig. 4 represents a sectional viewon the lines i-i of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 represents a side view. Fig. 6represents a section on the lines 66 of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a section onthe lines 77 of Fig. 3.

The jaws 1 and 2 of the vise are secured to a plate 3 which may beattached in any suitable manner to a bench or table 4. Preferably asupporting frame 5 is pivoted as at 6 to a flange 7 on the plate 3, sothat the vise as a whole may be tilted at an angle as shown in Fig. 5.An arm 8 is pivoted to the frame 5 and extends through a socket 9,preferably formed integral with the plate 3. Said arm is secured in thesocket, and the vise held in its adjusted position by a screw 10.

The rear jaw 1 is provided with a flange 11, rotatably mounted in asocket 12 formed in the frame 5 and secured against displace ment by thesplit washer 13. A hand screw 14 holds the rear jaw against rotation inits adjusted position. Said jaw is also provided with a hollow arm 16forming a bearing for the sliding bar 24: and extends rearwardly asuitable distance and has secured thereto a plate 17 provided with acentral bearing Specification of Letters Patent.

18 having a portion of its circumference formed with an interruptedthread 19.

The front jaw 2 is provided with a rectangular central opening and witha flange 20 that seats upon a sleeve or casing 21 and is secured theretoso as to have a to-and-fro or rocking movement, by pins or screws 22.Said sleeve 0r casing is in turn mounted upon the squared end 23 of ahollow sliding bar 24:, and both the jaw and the casing are permitted alimited tilting or sidewise movement thereon in a plane transverse tothe plane of the rocking or to-and-fro movement, but are held againstlongitudinal movement by pins or screws 26. A screw 27 provided with anoperating lever 28 is mounted in a bearing 29 formed in the sliding barand in the plate 17, and is provided with an interrupted thread, as at30, so that the sliding bar and the jaw can, if desired,

be moved back and forth directly by the lever 28 without rotating thescrew. The head of the sliding bar has its sides cut away at 32, asshown in Fig. 4i, to permit the sidewise movement of the jaw on the pins26. After being adjusted the jaw is held in position by any suitablemeans as a clamping screw 33 with a toothed flange or collar 34; adaptedto engage co-acting teeth on the sleeve. A similar clamping screw 35holds the jaw in position after it has been adjusted on the pins 22.Said clamping screws 33 and 35 pass through curved slots formed in thecasing 21, which permit the desired adjustment of pins 22 and 26 to bemade.

By means of this construction a vise is provided which can be readilyarranged at any desired angle with regard to the bench or table to whichit is secured. Both of the jaws are movable with relation to each other,the rear jaw having a rotary movement independently of the front jaw,and the front jaw having both a rocking or toand-fro movement in avertical or substantially vertical plane and a tilting or sidewisemovement in a horizontal or substantially horizontal plane independentlyof the rear jaw. Suitable means are also provided whereby the vise as awhole and each of the jaws independently may be securely held in anydesired position. The vise is extremely compact in construction and maybe easily and readily assembled.

It is obvious that various changes in the departing from the spirit'ofthe invention provided the means set forth in the followg table in saidsliding bar and adapted to ing claims'be employed.

i claim as my invention:

1.. In a wood workingvise, the combination ofa frame, a rear jaw mountedon said frame and provided with a central bearing,- a sliding barmovablein said bearing, a sleeve pivoted to said slidingbar and a jaw pivotedto said sleeve whereby said jaw may be rocked or: tilted on said sleeveand may,v

be rocked or tilted on sa-idsliding barin a plane transversezto theplane of saidrocking or tilting movement on the sleeve.. 7

In awood working vise, comprising a" relatively stationary jaw, asliding bar, and.

;a relatively movablejawcarried by said sliding. bar, thecombinationwith .said slid-- ing. bar of. amember pivoted to. said bar,-

said member being secured. to the movable V jaw by a pivot arrangedperpendicularly to said first mentioned pivot; whereby both said memberand jaw may be moved with re-; lEIlJlOl'itO the sliding bar and said jawmay;

be moved independently ofsaid member in a plane tran verse to the planeof the'first mentioned movement. 7

'3. In awood working vise the combinationof a frame, a rear jaw mountedon said frame a slidin bar movable on said 'aw a sleeve movablysecuredto the sliding bar by apivot and having limited movement on said pivot,a jaw pivoted to said sleeveby" a pivot arranged vperpendicularly tosaid first mentioned pivot means for holding said jaw in its adjustedrelation to the sleeve and separate means for holding said jaw andsleeve in their adjusted relation to the sliding bar. 7 I i 4c. In awood working vise, the combinationofa frame, a rear jaw rotatable onjtheframe and provided with a central bearing, asliding bar movable. in'said bearing, 'a
